Every church that baptized someone as an infant will blanketly declare at their funeral that the person is in heaven because the church administered that baptism.<\/p>\n

That funeral statement not only declares church authority to guarantee heaven by their ritual, but also gives false hope to all in the audience if they do what that church says—it’s not really about a personal decision to follow Jesus.<\/p>\n

But if the person in the casket stuck with the church enough to qualify for the church funeral, then they probably stuck with the church long enough to do the second routine ritual—‘reaffirmation’ confirmation—at 12 years or so, like everybody else (good church members).<\/p>\n
And that will also be declared publicly at the funeral, as further guarantee of heaven.<\/p>\n
